The Dangerous Cigarette.

In our dispatches this morning there is an
account of the loss of $250,O00 worth of
cotton and $4,000 worth of other property
at Little Rock, Ark, by fire, which was
started by lighted cigarette which was
carelessly dropped by boy in q cotton COM
press building. If the cause of this fire
were not known it is probable that it
would be believed to be the work of an
incendiary.
The occurrence Of several fires in cotton
cargoes at this port during tue present sea-
son which could not be satisfactorily ac-
counted for led good many people to be
lieve that they were not accidental 1t is
possible that that opinion is, TO some extent,
still entertained. The fact, however, that
the cause of cotton fires is frequently dis
covered to be due to carelessness in the
handling of fire, or to accident, greatly
weakens the incendiary theory.
II the truth were known it is not at all
improbable that it would appear that there
is great deal more smoking on ships that
are being loaded with cotton than the pub
lie has any idea of, and that matches are
carried carelessly about the persons of those
who are employed in some capacity in con-
nection with them while their cargoes are
being slowed.
The fire at Little Rock shows one thing
quite clearly, and that is that a cigarette
in the hands Of boy in the vicinity of cot
ton is very dangerous thing.

A Lady's Kindly Tact.
From the Boston Courier.


It would be hard to afford a stronger evidence
of being well bred than that of a society leader
who had among her dinner guests one evening a
relative from a distant rural district who,
though refined and well educated, knew but lit
tie of society ways and manners Soon after
the dainty finger-bowls were placed on the table
the rustic visitor took up her bowl and drank
from it! The hostess observed it. and showed
admirable tact moment after by drinking
from her own bowl thus spariug her guest the
modification which might otherwise have re-
suited. Another case where generous considera
ton and tact were sh VII was where a we'll
known lady OF Boston was travelling in Europe
not long since. She went to London for only q
day or two for the sole purpose of seeing a
friend who, by the way, belonged to the nobility
When strongly urged to meet few friends at
dinner next evening she declined, and on being
pressed for a good reason, was frank enough to
say that she had with her no suitable dress for
such an occasion, but only black silk. Wear
your black silk and will wear one, too, so you
may feel quite at ease said the hostess, and a
promise was given to be present. What was the
surprise of the Boston lady, entering the
drawing ROOM to find all the ladies in black silk
gowns. Lady Dash had written her guests re-
questiDg them to wear black silk"

Bidding for the Convention.

The California Democrats want the ma
tional convention of next year held in San
Francisco. They make some big promises
as an acknowledgements which it is
doubtful if they can fulfill They are very
sincere in making them, however, and it
may be that they have means Of fulfilling
them of which the public knows nothing.
Among the things they promise are that
the electoral votes of Nevada, Oregon and
California shall be given to the candidate
the convention dominates, whoever he
may be-
There are several things to be said in
favor Of San Francisco. The climate there is
superb in July, and there is hall there
that will hold ten thousand people. As for
hotels, there is no city in the country that
is better supplied with them.
The committee that is in Washington try
ing TO arrange to have the convention
called to meet in San Francisco, has issued
circular which sets forth some of the rea-
sions why it should be held in that city
The following is sample of some of the
statements init;
I'm July, the month in which the conven-
ton will meet, the California harvest will
be in full blast, our markets will be over
flowing with fruits Of every conceivable
kind-oranges, lemons, lines, apples, pears,
peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots, pome-
granates, grapes in endless variety, nuts of
every land and cline; figs rivaling the
famed Smyrna, and honey in boun-
teous profusion. Add to this the
balmy winds of the Pacific gently blowing
in through our Golden Gate, enriching the
blood, frightening the eye and making
every movement of life pleasure, with un.
surpassed accommodations, all the comforts
of life in profusion, q clear sky and an abid-
ing trust that a successful campaign will
crown the labor of that convention"
There is a bare possibility that this com
mittee is working in the interest of William
Tell Coleman, the Snn'S forgotten candi-
date 1t would be well for the national
committee, which is charged with the duty
of selecting place for the meeting of the
convention, to be careful not to fall into
trap set by the friends of the willy and am
bilious Coleman.

Fever ct Cincinnati.

Cincinnati is now suffering severely from
typhoid fever. 1t is estimated that there
are at present 600 cases in the city. Last
week there were forty deaths from that dis
ease. The death rate indicates that the
fever is of a very mild type.
The Health Officer says that he does not
consider that the fever is epidemic Before
disease can be properly considered to be
epidemic, he says, one death in each 100 of
population must occur from it every twenty
four hours. 1t is worthy of notice that
when yellow fever makes its appearance in
any city, it is declared to be epidemic long
before its victims number one to each l 900
of the inhabitants every day.
The causes Of the typhoid fever in Cincin-
natl is the subject of great deal of discus
sion. Some Of the physicians say one thing
and others another. The same differences
Of opinion exist as are apparent among the
physicians OF city stricken with yellow
fever relative to the cause of that disease
The fact is, little is known as to the cause
Of either Of the diseases.
The typhoid fever may not let go its hold
on Cincinnati before mid-winter, but her
trade will not suffer on account of the ex-
istence of the disease within her limits, and
nobody will leave or avoid the town on ac-
count of it. If yellow fever should break
cut in New Orleans or any other Southern
city, however, although it might not be so
general and fatal as the typhoid fever at
Cincinnati, there would be a stampede from
the infected place at once.

Florida Passenger Rates.


The Florida Railroad Commission has
| established the passenger rates on railroads
| in that State, and it Is safe to say that they
! are not satisfactory to those OF the roads
upon which the rates have been reduced
/ below SC mile 1t was the purpose of the
| commission when it first considered the
| question Of passenger rates to establish q
uniform rate of &c. a mile, but argument
seems to have convinced it that rate OF
that kind would drive the small roads,
which penetrate sparsely settled localities,
into bankruptcy Argument, however,
does not appear to have convinced it that
the more important roads are in need OF
any greater rate than that TO meet their ex-
penses and make fair profit upon the CAPT
tai invested in them.
The question which presents itself is this;
Can the roads which are required to carry
passengers forss3c mile do so and provide
as good Accommodations ais they do at present
without actual loss The impression gained
from their arguments before the commission
is that they cannot. If there is any doubt
about the matter 1t would seem to be easy
to get at the truth Let the roads show the
commission their books, or at least state
ment Of their gross earnings and expenses
for several years past. 1t is certain that
one of the greatest roads in the State has
not made any money at the rates for freight
and passengers which prevail at present.
There may be other roads in the same con-
dition. II the roads have lost money, or
barely met expenses at &C. mile, how will
they be affected by the Sc. rate
The commission, of course, wants to do
the best it can for the people. but will it be
to the interest of the people to cripple the
roadss The commission, doubtless, does
not think the rates it has established will
cripple them, but it will be admitted that
the roads are better informed relative to
their business than the commission Is, and
they certainly regard the rates with feelings
of gloom, not because they foresee reduced
profits, but because they fear that they will
not be able to make their receipts meet their
expenses.
We do not believe in permitting the rail-
roads to make either discriminating or ex-
orbitant rates, but the best interests Of the
people, as well as Of the railroads, require
that living rates shall be permitted. The
demagogue, to gain the favor of the crowd,
may assert that the railroads are robbing
and expressing the people, even when one
after another they are passing into receiv-
ers' hands, but the people never yet have
been benefited by following the advice OF
demagogues.
The business which the Florida Railroad
Commission has in hand ought to be settled
on business principles. The roads ought TO
be required to furnish ample and frst-class
accommodations TO passengers, and they
ought to be permitted 60 charge rae that
would enable them to do that, and to meet
their obligations and pay fair dividends
upon their capital stock. Such rate would
satisfy all parties

How Sarah Bernhard Didn't Recite.
Puris Letter to BROOKLYN EnqEc


Since her return Sarah Bernhardt is very
busy spending the money she made in Amer
lea Her managers, Abbey and Grau. have
made an arrangement with her creditors. She
was about $40 900 In debt when she left, and
about one-third was offered and accepted to
cancel the Indebtedness. They have rented
hotel-private house-for her, and for the fur
nishng Of which she is now displaying her
artistic taste and her love for lavish expendi-
ture She spent 81, 900 for her bedroom; had
the furniture come from Mable's in England.

monizng in colors and forming arabesque,

night she consented to recite at a re-
ception given in honor Of the Emperor
OF Brazil. She arrived at the late hour Of II,
dressed In a white flowing Roman toga, caught
and fastened With jeweled clasps at the Shout

HER HORSE GOT THERE.
A Plucky Woman Whom q Dakota
Town Would Elect to Anything.

Town Would Elect to Anything.
From the Minneapolis Journal
Frankie Cleveland won the hearts of her sub
jects by marrying a President. She deserves
credit for that, but Grand Forks, Oak, la y
won the hearts Of the denzens of that lively
little city not long ago more completely in half
an hour She did il with horse The lady
drove sleepy-looking carriage horse about
town on her shopping tours that in appearance
didn't look as though it could go mile in a
week. A wel-known citizen had spanking big
team that was acknowledged to be the swiftest
in the town. The laly and gentleman met in
society frequently, and the latter never lost an
opportunity to chaff her about her ill-looking
horse. One day they happened to drive up to a
city drug store at the same time.
Say" began the man as he looked at the
lady and then glanced at the horse, why don
you hitch snail to your carriageg 1t would go
faster than that horse, and look deuced sight
better"
you have 'guved' me repeatedly about that
horse" replied the lady. Now III wager that
I'll beat you in a half-mile race"
IN bet you Oyou can't"
wait till drive home and get the money and
I'll take you"
Never mind doing that; I'll loan you the
money" broke IN bystander.
The money W. put up and half mile on q
level street was chosen. Half the town wit
messed the race. The flyers got even start
and away they went. The little horse spurted
at the start and took the lead. The little beasts
name and tail fairly stood up in the air as she
big team was not only beaten, but in " straight
race would have been distanced. The town
went wild. They are guying the man yet up in

The New York Tribune, in opposing the
confirmation of Mr.. Lamar as Supreme
Court Judge by the Senate, should he be
nominated by the President, recalls the fact
that thirteen years ago so prominent a Re
publican as Caleb Cushing was rejected
when nominated for the same Office because
he had once addressed letter to "Presi-
dent jefferson Davis. That was probably
only pretext behind which the real reason
was hid At any rate it can be seen
now that it was n very insufficient reason.
Mr. Lamar should be confirmed because it
is admitted that the Southern States should
be represented on the bench of the Supreme
Court. He is well qualified to discharge
the duties of the place, and no one, not even
the Tribune, entertains a genuine doubt as
TO his loyalty. His record as Confederate
would not be brought up against him were
be now Republican.

Gen. Sickles and Barton Key.
From the Ne,p York Truth.

A singular rencontre took place at the Fifth
Avenue TIL satre the other day. Mr.. Stokes, the
polite ticket seller and father-in-law OF John
Stetson, wanted to leave the box-offlce for a
few moments, and he left it in charge of Philip
Barton Key, who said he would attend to the
business during his absence. Barton Key is the
personal manager for Mrs Brown Potter. He
had been there only a moment when there
bobbed up to the ticket window the familiar
form Of Gen. Dan Sickles who asked for two
seats for one Of the Potter nights. There was
no way out of it, and Key very properly put up
two tickets and handed them out to the General
when for the first time he looked up and saw
who he was talking with. His hand trembled
and his face blanched. Then he moved away as
quickly as his crutches would permit him. |
have seldom seen anything more really dra-
matte. Barton Key is the son of the man whom
Sickles killed in Washington thirty or thirty five
years ago. l did not ask Key how he felt over
the matter, but / could not help wondering.
